UNSPSC 70121501: Dairy herd management

UNSPSC 70121501 Dairy herd management (Commodity) shows minimal relevant activity in recent state and local procurement, with only one opportunity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The recent posted opportunities span grazing management planning, irrigation services, public works assessment, milk and dairy product supply contracts, and agricultural land leasing — of which only the Rhode Island milk and dairy product solicitations (MPA 70) map directly to dairy-related procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily purchasing milk, dairy products, and ice cream for institutional delivery to correctional facilities, training schools, hospitals, and veteran care homes, along with ancillary agricultural management services such as rangeland monitoring and grazing plan development that support livestock operations.

The issuing bodies soliciting dairy-related work include state divisions of purchase (Rhode Island Division of Purchases) and county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania). The State of Rhode Island has posted two related solicitations for a Master Price Agreement covering milk in multiple container sizes, cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and ice cream, with qualified vendor lists and reverse auction pricing mechanisms; both solicitations required sealed proposals (June 9, 2026 and July 2, 2026 deadlines) and mandate MBE/WBE participation at a minimum of 10 percent of total dollar value, Food Processor Licensing, and quarterly reporting. Rhode Island stands as the primary recent procurement location for dairy products under this code. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife RFP for a Minam River Wildlife Area grazing management plan (due September 8, 2026) and Montgomery County's farming lease at Norristown Farm Park (due May 28, 2026) represent ancillary agricultural operations but fall outside the direct scope of dairy herd management contracting.
